Why it matters locally: Rising Treasury yields can influence borrowing costs for state and local governments in Illinois, potentially impacting financing for infrastructure projects and municipal bonds issued by entities like the Cook County Government or the DuPage County Government Administration Building.
The yield on benchmark U.S. Treasury bonds reached new 24-year highs on Wednesday. This increase coincided with an acceleration in the global sell-off of government debt. Bond yields, which move inversely to prices, rise when investors sell off existing bonds.
